Cardboard City 2008

On Saturday April 5, the youth raised poverty awareness by participating in Cardboard City, where they slept in cardboard boxes for the night to simulate homelessness.   Thanks to the generosity of the congregation and the community the youth group collected a van full of needed bedding, clothing and food for Bea Gaddy Family Centers in Baltimore City. 

Here are some photos from the event:

These are the most of the intrepid overnighters.   A few additional youth came later in the evening.

This is the interior of a two room, waterfront "home", custom built for the Ashland parking lot!

Checking out the interior!

Gathered for worship in the Cardboard City square.   Thanks to the Contemporary Worship team for coming out!
